Moderns that are COOLING on EBAY... 1 1

[Aweandlorder]

I would love to see how many #1 9.8s were entered into the system from the moment Preacher was optioned (Jan 2014?) till the show hit.

Prior to the "news" this was selling anywhere between 200-400, with only a few below that. 

While its perfectly reasonable to think that the hype made prices soar and now they have calmed down, its also likely that there have been too many 9.8s created while the hype was on, and now there are no homes for those 9.8s anymore

Then why not just look it up? There were 114 Universal 9.8s at the start of 2014 and approximately 100 copies were added each year from Jan 2014 - Jan 2018. The rate of submissions was pretty consistent for 4 years, until slowing this year.

The number of SS 9.8s has also tripled since the beginning of 2014.

but RMA accused Ygo of Pump and Dump

You are incorrect. You have misread whatever it was that led you to that conclusion. I would suggest reading it again.

I wonder just how many times people read something incorrectly, come away with an entirely inaccurate perception, and it's never revealed or addressed...?

I suspect that answer is "a lot." And that sucks.

I wonder how many people are unaware of Greg Holland's "CGC Data" website...?

Probably lots, even here. Especially people who are ignorant about pretty much everything.

Preacher 1 was a $200-$400 book before then? I'll take your word for it. Sounds high, but I wasn't tracking it as none of my raws were slab candidates.

Seems some people may be unaware. In June, popular WWE wrestler and GotG actor, Dave Bautista signed on to play a role in a movie called Dogtown which is based on the comic Body Bags. Not sure how that is pump and dump, but some seem to think it is.

 I know...

Ok, ComicCollectorMatt thinks that.

Ya got me.

BUT.... I suspect that what you're referring to, and what CCM was referring to, are two different things.

Just a hunch. Did you ask him what he was referring to, or did you just assume...?

There were several references during that time of pump and dump and speculation sites that was an obvious attempt to just poop on them without any background knowledge.
Oh, and apparently it's not CCM anymore.

Fair enough. AMC announced on November 16, 2013. Not a shocker the price popped. I was thinking about before the period when it was being discussed as a tv show (rumors had swirled for a while before AMC announced). It wasn't $200-400 on comic merits alone I think. I remember passing on a sharp $5 copy like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person in the early 2000s.

Can't recall what grade this one was, but I believe it was a raw 9.0:

I sold preacher 1, 2 copies of 2, various issues under 10, and I dunno 30 or so assorted issues -- basically all the 1st apps -- here for something like $100 right after the announcement.  But raw is raw and the 1 was a nm-. I felt like I was making out like a bandit.

:That's a painful inquiry.  I think I prefer to stay ignorant.  Sounds like a Halloween horror story "when TV/film spec goes bad" ... muahahahah
